Systems Update

Rand Water Maintenance: Palmiet Update

The second phase (two of three) of the maintenance at Rand Water’s Palmiet Pump Station is scheduled to take place from 15 to 17 July 2024, during which pumping will be reduced to 68% for 50 hours.

Currently, the system is operating at 100% and all Johannesburg Water systems supplied from Palmiet are operating normally.
•The Linksfield Reservoir and the South Hills Tower and direct feeds are supplying normally.
•The Alexander Park Reservoir is supplying fairly but the water levels are low due to high demand. The outlet will be closed overnight to build capacity.
•The Randjieslaagte Reservoirs are supplying fairly.
•The Sandton system and direct feeds are supplying normally.
•The Midrand systems and direct feeds are also supplying normally.

Johannesburg Water continues to closely monitor all systems and continues to provide alternative water supply to systems affected customers.
